PREFACE 

This index of Frances M. Caulkins' "History of New London, 
Conneaicut," was prepared from the edition pubHshed by H. D. Utley 
in 1895, press of The Day PubHshing Company, New London, Conn. 
This edition was chosen as it is the one in most common use. Occa- 
sionally there may be found a slight variation in the paging if one of 
the older editions is used. 

In the compiling of the index there has been an earnest attempt 
made to separate, as individuals, persons of the same name. By adding 
death dates or other data and carefully comparing items, this distinaion 
has very often proved possible. Sometimes of course, it has not been 
possible. Ensign James Avery, Lieut. James Avery, and Capt. James 
Avery may be the same person at different periods m his career, but 
that cannot be always determined from the text. In the case of "Junior" 
and "Senior" the careful comparing of items and dates has been helpful. 

In the index the name sought for may appear more than once on 
the page given. This fact should be kept in mind. 

The memoir of Miss Caulkins is not included in the index. 

Miss Caulkins says of the early settlers that in the oldest book of 
town records "the two Winthrops, John and Deane, are uniformly 
entitled 'Mr.,' as are also Jonathan Brewster and Robert Parke when 
they appear in the plantation; but all others are styled Goodman' or 
mentioned by Christian name and surname, without any prefix." So we 
find that when Miss Caulkins says "Mr. Winthrop" she probably means 
"John Winthrop" and when she says "Mr. Brewster" she means "Jona- 
than Brewster." 

In this index Miss Caulkins' topical table of contents with some 
necessary additions and itemizing was first alphabetized, then the per- 
sonal names added, not from her list but by carefully reading, then 
checking each page. When these had been added the book was gone 
through again for the place names (which Miss Caulkins had neglected 
almost entirely), each page being read and checked in the same way 
for these. 

This index was prepared over a period of years. Sometimes routine 
work in the Library made it difficult to work at it for long periods. 

It is hoped that the index may prove helpful to many who have 
complained that they "never can find things" in this book. 

My appreciation to the Trustees for making the publication of the 
index possible, to our Librarian, Mr. Frederick W. Edgerton, to the 
typist, and to the ever faithful members of the Library Staff.
